Naomi said,,,
I went to Cathy's birthday party yesterday. It was so bad. I bought a white sweater and tried to hand it to her. But she said to me, “I wanted black one. Mary would give me the one. But unfortunately she is not here. So, I don't need it.” Just after that, the party suddenly ended. When I got home, I thought that Mary should have been there. I couldn't sleep very well last night. I wonder where she was yesterday.

Hey. I am not entirely convinced with the abstract sent. Nevertheless, option 2 looks a better fit.
Hello, SophiaS-san.
Thank you so much.
3 is bad?
You're welcome. It's just that 2 fits in best. 3 is avoidable.
Thank you so much.
